Nyers Eager To Get Going At Plainfield

Bill Nyers has seen Plainfield’s potential from afar.
The thought of building the team back up was one of the enticements that brought the 43-year-old coach back to the high school level after five years as the offensive coordinator at Kean University. He spent a year as an assistant coach at Union where he got to coach against Plainfield, and for years before that as head coach at Woodbridge. Nyers was the head coach at Woodbridge for nine years, winning the Central Group IV title in his fourth year as coach in 1997. It was the Barrons’ last sectional title.
The Plainfield Board of Education approved Nyers’ hiring Tuesday night.
“”I’m excited and thrilled to get back to the high school level,” said Nyers, who teaches at Avenal Middle School. “”We’re going to be a disciplined, non-nonsense football team. I’m ready to come back to high school. I really like the intimacy of it, the kind of community support.”
Nyers takes over for the outgoing coach Reggie Robinson.
